The Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Credit Program offers some of the most lucrative tax credits in the world. More than $3 Billion is awarded annually to Canadian companies conducting R&D, are you claiming everything you’re entitled to?

Our SR&ED Tax Credits Services

As mentioned, the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit program is the largest source of R&D funding in Canada. The SR&ED program is part of the Income Tax Act, and while all businesses have the right to claim credits for projects that meet the requirements of the program, it remains complex to navigate. Our proven reputation allows us to actively participate in the drafting of application policies and the development of new CRA services. We offer tailored services to meet each of your needs, no matter the size of your company, our step-by-step approach is detailed below:

Detailed Mapping

Our experts start with a detailed SR&ED training session at your office, covering every detail of the SR&ED program including documentation requirements, techniques and recent changes to the SR&ED program in Canada. We then perform a systematic review of your business’ operations, SR&ED and accounting following which we develop and implement SR&ED infrastructure requirements.

Technical Analysis

We identify all eligible SR&ED projects in all areas for your business, developing a strategy to maximize the potential value of the tax credit claim, following which our experts prepare the technical report. Quarterly or monthly meetings will be scheduled to ensure that we proactively capture all SR&ED related information going forward; this will ensure that nothing gets missed, claims are being maximized, and proper documentation support is always available.

Financial Analysis

Our SR&ED experts capture all costs associated with each project and create a financial work sheet linked to the technical report. This uncovers any misplaced, hidden, or unclaimed expenditures. We work with the tax preparer to minimize any duplication’s in the work and submit a complete claim to your accountant to file.

Audit Support

In the case of an audit, our team supports and manages the process from start to finish. All project documentation will be organized and reviewed with you, and we will conduct a dress rehearsal in preparation with you and your team. Our team of experts will defend the R&D claim to the auditors and will provide any necessary guidance required. Our senior consultants will follow up after the audit and provide any necessary feedback.

Communication with the Government

We take care of communication with all levels of the government and ensure that your claim is processed in a timely manner. We remain current with the latest regulations and policies, providing any updates to you and adjust to any government legislation and changing interpretations.

Account Management

Ayming is your tax credit advisor and hence, we will introduce other programs or grants that your business can take advantage of. We develop a documentation system suitable to you as per the CRA’s requirements. Our experts communicate throughout your business and develop a forward-thinking claim strategy to maximize your benefits. Your assigned SR&ED specialist will advise senior management and tax authorities on the progress of the claim in a timely manner and a lead consultant along with a peering team to coordinate, complete and maximize all the activities listed above.

Common Industry Challenges

Despite the broad range of eligibility and large levels of funding, companies are not claiming at all or are significantly under claiming, so why is this?

Many don’t think they do research & development (R&D)

The program is complicated, and criteria is constantly evolving making it difficult to navigate.

Some are only claiming apparent R&D activities and are not claiming activities such as product and processes, continuous improvement, equipment and system changes, or internal IT projects.

Fear of being called into an audit, or have previously gone through a bad audit.

Some are paid by their clients for R&D so they don’t believe they can claim.

Lack of expertise, time, and resources to put together a claim. Lack of expertise leads to claiming only the “obvious” projects, overlooking other qualifying activities.
